Senior Class History Mike Brown, Roger Fortuna, and Bill Kelly. Many a vigorous debate took place in Mr. Grygiel's third period American History class. At the end of the year, jack Brewer, Mike Brown, Rog Fortuna, Stan Kozenewski, and Harry Shelley wereoselected to attend Boys' State. About the only exciting thing that happened there was when Koz pushed Herkimer's Jerry Drabent into Taylor Lake, located on the Colgate campus. Despite ominous predictions, we managed to pass English regents and moved onto our senior year. Roger Fortuna, our politician, was elected presi- dent of the Student Council flixed electionl. Mike McCormack became the senior class president the bribed everyonej Ray Wardle, vice-president, Ellen Greene, secretary, and Regina Stefanishyn, treas- urer. Our first activity of the year was the football con- cession. It was a delight to count the profits from this project. Wfe hadn't seen profits for so long, anything would have been an improvement. Next on the agenda was the Christmas Card sale with Peggy McClave as chairman. We all pitched in and wound up only S4-69 short of what we expected. However, the situation later took a tum forthe better. CNO, we did NOT rob Oneida National, contrary to ugly rumorsll Linda Vernooy and Peggy McClave were se- lected editors of the school paper, The Quill, and both did a fine job of getting out a paper every two weeks. Linda was also our candidate for the D.A.R. award. Harry Shelley and Dana f Bubbles j Nelson he- came the editors for the 1962 Mirror. Our football team, including 20 seniors, upset the Pizza-eaters from across the river in the traditional Ilion-Herkimer contest, by a score of 6-0. Elaine Volo and Dick Adams reigned as Homecoming Queen and King. Once again we had the senior ball in December fthat's right -- no profitsj. Shirley Richards and Stan Kozenewski were co-chairman of the affair, Isle of Paradise. Shirley was crowned queen, a fitting reward for her tireless efforts. Our chief accomplishment was getting Miss Pogo- nowski married. Finally, in October of our senior year, she was happily wed to Mr. David Bouck. 1 It took only 2 yearsll Before our graduation, Cand at this writing it looks like a good betl, we have the class games, sen- ior class play, junior prom, class picnic Cif we can afford itl and Commencement. After that, we can only hope for the best.
